John,
In a Presidential campaign, I expect most folks will know who the candidates are.
Of course. For example, I have been watching McNeil Lehrer Newshour daily, and I can write an essay on where candidates Dean and Kuchich differ on Iraq policy. And I am a typical American. I eat grits for breakfast, chew tobacco, eat beef jerky throughout the day, eat a gallon of ice creem for dinner (Low fat, all sugar) I eat it while watching McNeil Lehrer, and sip some Coke from a 2 liter bottle (Diet of course - no sugar, only coffeine).
After McNeil Lehrer, I generally get a bag of potato chips (Family size, no salt, all fat) and switch to C-Span to catch some debates.
Pay attention. These guys spend more on marketing than P&G spends on one of their brands.
That's clearly wrong. Question of who represents us in Washington and the State House is nowhere near as important as decision between the Tide and ALL, therefore the campaign spending limits should be tightened further.
